Just as Barcelona seemed to regain momentum in La Liga, they suffered a home loss to relegation-threatened Leganes. The result brought joy to Madrid fans everywhere, but perhaps none were happier than Antonio Rudiger.

The German international, known for his vibrant personality, was captured on video laughing heartily after hearing the final score, alongside a friend who supports Barcelona.

 

Next weekend promises to be even more favorable for Real Madrid, as at least one of their title competitors will falter when Atletico Madrid visits Montjuic to take on Barcelona. The Blaugrana have only managed one win in their last six La Liga matches, and this defeat certainly dampened the impact of their own dropped points against Rayo Vallecano. This season is shaping up to feature one of the closest title races in recent memory, with all three teams separated by just a single point, and Barcelona having played one more game.
